PreMiEr Industry Partners

PreMiEr is pleased to partner with industrial stakeholders in areas related to microbiome science and engineering, building design and construction, and particularly any company interested in exploring the intersection of the two areas. We believe that close associations with biotechnological, architectural, construction, and other companies can result in mutually beneficial relationships for determining the direction of the center, developing and marketing new technologies, and training the next generation of diverse microbiome engineering talent.
